Manchester City will be aiming to end the Premier League season on a three-game win streak to keep confidence high and rhythm intact ahead of their Champions League final against Chelsea – continuing with a trip to Brighton on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side have already been crowned champions and celebrated with a 4-3 win over Newcastle on Friday night, despite a much-changed side.
There could be more rotating in the offing as the boss bids to keep his players sharp ahead of the final in Portugal, with nothing riding on this game from their perspective – and indeed for Brighton, other than league positions.
The Seagulls are safe from the threat of relegation, though still could rise a couple of places from 17th if they can pick up points from their own final two fixtures.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
When is the match?
The match kicks off at 7pm on Tuesday, 18 May at the Amex Stadium.

What is the team news?
